 Hello,
 
 Sure. I'm willing to hear more about your changes and patches! To reproduce
 problems I've seen, try to download Peter Wemm's stress suite, compile it,
 and run PTY code. As I recall, after unpacking stress2.tgz you'll have
 run.sh script and pty<some_extension>. You run it by typing: ./run
 ./pty<some_extension_maybe_conf>. Try to switch to other virtual terminal
 and login.
 
 For debugging stuff, where I liked to put printf()s and KASSERTs here and
 there, I used window(1), because it doesn't bomp you with tons of function
 calls, and creates (AFAICT) 2 vTTYs.
 
 Let me know if you find something,
